Pololu 5V, 600mA Step-Down Voltage Regulator D24V6F5

Description

The compact (0.4" x 0.5") D24V6F5 step-down switching voltage regulator takes an input voltage between 7 V and 42 V and efficiently reduces it to 5 V, while allowing a maximum output current of 600 mA. The pins have a 0.1" spacing, making this board compatible with standard breadboards. Note: We recommend our newer family of 500 mA D24V5Fx and 1 A D24V10Fx step-down voltage regulators over this product. They offer similar performance with much lower dropout voltages and higher efficiency at light loads, and they are available in a wider range of output voltages. These buck (step-down) voltage regulators generate output voltages lower than input voltages as high as 42 V. They are switching regulators (also called switching power supplies (SMPS) or DC-to-DC converters) and have a typical efficiency between 80% and 90%, which is much more efficient than linear voltage regulators, especially when the difference between the input and output voltage is large. The regulator has short-circuit protection and thermal shutdown prevents damage from overheating. The board does not have reverse voltage protection. Features Input voltage: [ output voltage + dropout voltage ] to 42 V (see below for more information on dropout voltage) Fixed 3.3 V, 5 V, 9 V, or 12 V output (depending on regulator version) with 4% accuracy Maximum output current: 300 mA or 600 mA (depending on regulator version) 1.25 MHz switching frequency 2 mA typical no-load quiescent current (20 ?A typical quiescent current with SHDN = LOW) Integrated over-temperature and over-current shutoff Small size: 0.5? × 0.4? × 0.1? (13 mm × 10 mm × 3 mm) For detailed information visit https://www.pololu.com/product/2107
